Loose Women star Linda Robson has bravely opened up about a heartbreaking baby loss on the ITV show, as she confirmed she would have had four children in total
Linda Robson has courageously shared her experience of miscarriage with fellow Loose Women panellists Charlene White, Coleen Nolan, and Ayda Field Williams.
In the episode aired on Tuesday (October 15), the cast delved into the subject of parenthood and the optimal timing for having children. This prompted Linda to open up about her own journey with baby loss.
The 66-year-old recounted: "Well I had Lauren when I was 25, and then there was an 11 year gap before I had Louis and then I think about a five-year gap between Bobby. So at 25 I was quite a young mum and everything".
She continued with a poignant revelation: "I lost one inbetween Louis and Bobby, sorry Louis and Lauren, so I would have had four children but that didn't happen."
Reflecting on the strong relationship her children share today, the actress, known for her role in Birds of a Feather, remarked: "It was just the age difference, Lauren hated Louis when he was born as she had 11 years on her own sleeping in a bed with me, and it was just me and her," reports the Mirror.
"Then all of a sudden this brother turns up who has got eczema and asthma so he needed a bit more care than the other kids."
She concluded by highlighting a turning point: "It was only when we went to Australia, I was working out in Australia and I took the three kids out there, that Louis and Lauren bonded because she was looking after him while I was working. Now the three are close as anything, they really are."
Linda has previously discussed the pain of losing a baby on a 2021 episode of Loose Women.
Linda shared with her co-hosts: "You know, when you just know that it's not the same as the other pregnancies and something's not quite right there. So I rang the hospital and asked if I could come in and have another scan."
She continued: "That was a really hard day, like going home that night knowing that I'd have to go in and have suction the next day."
Loose Women is on ITV weekdays at 12.30pm and on ITVX
